As part of the Humanitarian Festival, the publishing house “NLO” has launched a major project — the first collected works of the outstanding Russian historian Evgeny Viktorovich Anisimov.
The first two volumes are already printed and ready for shipping:
• “State Transformations and Autocracy of Peter the Great in the First Quarter of the 18th Century”
• “Young City. St. Petersburg in the Time of Peter the Great”
The author himself comments on the project: “It used to be thought that collected works could only be published if you were Gorky or already dead. That tradition ends with me.”
These books offer a profound analysis of Peter the Great’s reforms — which still shape the structure of the Russian state today — and a vivid account of the birth of St. Petersburg, the city Peter built as his new Amsterdam.
This is not just academic research. It is a lively, engaging and very modern reading of key pages in Russian history.
The first volumes are now on sale. Don’t miss the chance to own the most complete and authoritative collection of Evgeny Anisimov’s works!
